A "B" movie with Unbelieveable story and lame action.

There is logical holes in story.for example if they changed the faces,then how they changed the height of characters? how wife can not feel difference in penis size at sex?!!! how they can change skull shape? Travolta's face is just like pumpkin but Cage's face is skinny! and this is safe to say that the worst casting is another negative point for this grade B movie.action sequences are weak and lame,specially in airport when a police Hummer terminating the airplane and flying bastards with two gun in two hand shooting every thing around and specially most stupid duels.

Plus there's the fact that you can't graft someone's face onto your own without the risk of infection. Neither Troy or Archer would have lived too long after the operation.

I'd say it's the opposite. Lame story, unbelievable action. The glossy direction sells it, but the story is a giant plot-hole.

The premise is a given. If you can't accept it then don't watch the film. It's symbolic. There's a bazillion cop movies that compare and parallel the cop and criminal - not the least of which are Woo's other films. This just takes it to an absurd extreme. It's not meant to be realistic - it's an exercise in style over substance.

Fine. The movie still sucks.

Definitely sounds like you have something stuck up your ass. This movie is a bonafide classic whether you like it or not Mr.

It's a movie. The same reason superman can put on a pair of glasses to hide his identity. The same reason why vampires walk during the day and pimp girls at night in Twilight. In this movie, just exchanging their face is enough simple. As soon as you accept that fact, the sooner you can enjoy the film.
